Judith Paris
by Hugh Walpole
Set partly in Revolutionary Paris and partly in romantic Cumbria, Judith Paris is the story of two different men who love Walpole's most beautiful protagonist. Judith, the daughter of Francis Herris and Mirabel Starr, was described in the publication as "the most beautiful of Walpole's heroes". As fast, impulsive, and passionate as his father is, he is divided between his ambitions and his love for the wild beauty of the Lakes. Set partly in Paris during the French Revolution and partly in the unforgettable romantic Cambrian hamlet of Vatendlat, the film is the story of two different men who love it and are both funny and touching, tragic and triumphant in turn.
